Ocean Acidification

Greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat and acidification, and sea level rise all reached record highs in 2023, according to a new report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released on Tuesday.

A newly discovered marine reptile is giving scientists a glimpse into the wondrous feats of nature in the face of adversity. Sclerocormus parviceps lived about 247 million years ago - in the aftermath of the most devastating mass extinction we know of, often referred to as "The Great Dying." Some 96 percent of all species went extinct, and changes ...

The rate of environmental change occurring today is unprecedented compared to that which occurred during natural events in the Earth's history, a new study has claimed.

If left unchecked, global warming will cause irreversible damage to marine life in the world's oceans, forcing fish to search for cooler waters and destroying valuable coral reefs, an international study said on Thursday.

Surging levels of carbon dioxide sent greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to a new record in 2013, while gas-absorbing oceans were hit by "unprecedented" acidification, the UN said Tuesday.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said the oceans are facing threats from over-fishing, pollution and acidification, and called for "a comprehensive, global strategy" to protect them, media reported on Tuesday.
